woah... everyone like
saw this on reddit.One of the commenters from the original post shared it on Reddit.
how does bluesky work anyway?
It is basically Twitter 2.0
why do they have instance names like on fedi?
I believe Bluesky
is Fediverse compatiblecan interact with the Fediverse through an ActivityPub bridge. I am not familiar enough to know exactly how it works. That said, if you own a URL, you can set it as your username. For example, John Scalzi (the author) linked his account to his URL so now his username is @scalzi.com.they are not decentralized, are they?
Not at the moment but the protocol allows for it IIRC.
EDIT: Corrected my incorrect amd misleading comment.
They aren’t directly compatible because they use a different protocol (AT protocol instead of Activitypub) but there is a Bluesky/Mastodon bridge
Bluesky deliberately chose not to use activity pub and made their own instead of extending it. I don't think they have made strides of federating with the fediverse.
They seem to be determined to create their own federation protocol, which they claim that they're going to hand over to a non-profit to become a standard. Or something like that. I'm not clear on the details, and I don't know enough about internet traffic handling to understand it. I just know they use their own node infrastructure to handle traffic between different hosts for user accounts.
There was a standard (activity pub), and they actively chose to go against it.
Oh! I thought bluesky was literally Twitter and just as cooperate. Sooo can I use ma Lemmy account to contact people on bluesky? Or can I follow them somehow?... I really don't understand the whole
activity pubstuff and compatibility yet...Also, the reason I mentioned the redddit thing was cuz I'm like "damn, peeps now almost only see good posts as secondary reposts on reddit, big sad"
As others have corrected, Bluesky isn't Activity Pub based. Instead they have made a bridge for compatibility.
Sooooo can i use my Lemmy account to contact or see profiles on bluesky?
I genuinely do not know, hopefully someone else here can tell us, but I have seen Bluesky on Mastadon.
It can be but default is companie's instance. https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/federation-architecture
Also you can use your own domain name. https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial
Bluesky uses the AT protocol, something they decided to make instead of using ActivityPub. Right now, there's really only the main Bluesky instance, but in theory, there can be multiple.
why though
cuz they might be cold :(
oh ok thats understandable
